Cabragh North row
Cabragh North row submitted by GaelicLaird : Photo taken March 2021. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A row of four stones in Co. Cork. Five stone Circles are located close by. 10 km (6 miles) due S of Millstreet and 9.6km (6 miles) NW of Macroom, and 4 km (2 ½ miles) WNW of Scrahanard wedge-tomb, to the east of a long track leading to Carriganirtane. About 150m E of the track is an alignment 9 metres long of 6 stones 90cm apart, 2 of which have fallen. The tallest stone still standing is 180cm high; the outhernmost stone (fallen) is 275cm long.

~ A few hundred metres up the track, but not visible from it, is another alignment, connected perhaps with a possible tumulus about 100m E of the track, of four stones, grooved on top, l00cm apart, and respectively 330, 275, 240 and 210cm high. About 90m away, along the same axis in a westerly direction (i.e. towards the track) is a 5th stone just over 150cm high. Close to the E end of the alignment is a 5-stone axial-stone circle, whose 2 portal stones are still visible; 2 other stones are incorporated in a field fence, and one stone is missing. S of the tumulus is an isolated standing stone 1.5m high.

~ North of the second alignment, farther up the hill, is a third.

~ 800 metres (½ mile) N, just S of the summit of Carriganirtane hill, in Carriganirtane is a fine low wedge-tomb nearly 4 metres long with 3 roof stones and some double-walling on both sides.

~ On the W side of the track leading up to Cabragh and Carriganirtane, in the townland of Clashmaguire can be seen a pair of standing stones which seem to fit into the category of 'male-and-female'.
